Author's note: This is short, I know, but it is a continuation of the last chapter. I wanted everyone to enjoy the funnyness of the last one, before getting into this big thing here. Thanks!

Don't own it.

Fiyero, being the dumbass that he is, walked up to Avaric with a huge grin.

"Avaric! Old buddy!" Avaric, who had been talking to a man- the same man who'd been giving the tour- looked up at them- then took off running. Fiyero, being a dumbass times two ran after him.

"Avaric!" Fiyero called as he ran, "Avaric, it's me! Fiyero Tiggular! Remember?!"

Eventually, after running a couple streets, Fiyero was getting angry. So he caught up with Avaric, and – PHOOSH! Tackled him to the ground.

"Avaric, bud, what the hell is up with you?" Fiyero said, helping Avaric up, and making sure that he didn't get away.

Avaric didn't meet Fiyero's eyes. "Avaric, man? What's up?"

Just then, Nessa caught up to them in her chair, although it took her all the strength she had to wheel her self there. She stopped with shock at the sight of Avaric. Elphaba, not knowing what was going on, run up next, as Avaric looked wide eyed at Nessa.

"You guys! What happened?"

Nessa shook her head at Avaric. "Elphaba, you shouldn't be here."

"Why not?!"

Avaric looked at the ground. "I am so sorry…" Fiyero cocked his head.

"You said I'd never see your face again, Avaric." This was Nessa. All gazes turned to her.

"What?" Fiyero said. " What in the name of the unnamed God is going on here?"

Avaric looked at Nessa. " I don't know what I was doing… I was on my way to Quadling country- I swear- I just needed extra cash."

Nessa shook her head at him. "You little bast-!

"What is going on?!" Elphaba said.

"Nessa, I didn't- I thought we-!"

Nessa once more looked at him ruefully. "NO, Avaric- I thought you agreed to-!"

Avaric, just then, punched Fiyero in the stomach, who then doubled over. He ran away, but Fiyero was too fast for him, and pushed him into a wall.

"WHAT IS GOING ON, AVARIC?! TELL THE TRUTH!"

Avaric smirked. "Why are you asking me? Just ask Nessa."
